Chapter six
Walking into class after being gone from an injury shows you who are your true friends, it shows who knew who you were before you got hurt, and who wants just wants to seem like a better person by asking you how feel and if you're alright… those are usually the only kinds of people but there is one more but it's a little more complex than the other two, it's the one where it gives a person a reason to finally talk to you, in my case that how I finally got to talk to her
Walking into first period I could feel every single persons eyes peering into him mainly cause he was late again, just like the first day of school but this time they weren't just looking at his bright ass pink hair they were looking at the plaster cast encasing most of his forearm but he looked better than last time it was late October at this point in the school year and all the grueling training paid off he lost weight and gained muscle faster than he thought he would, that wasn't the only difference the bulldog lady was the sub again
"What's your name sir" she said lifting her head from her book she was reading
"Natsu dragneel" he said taking his assigned seat
"Why are you late ?"
"Cause I was on the late bus sorry but I should be excused"
"Alright fine, ok class settle down Mrs. Strauss has left a video to watch, it's something about the middle east or something anyway just be kind of quiet and you may move anywhere to else to sit"
Great I guess I get to stay here and take a much needed nap…..…. or at least that was my plan but fate is funny sometimes.
No fucking way, this did not just happen what do I do
Right before I laid my head down to fall asleep she sat right in front of me
That beautiful girl that who sat directly across the classroom moved right in front of me.
She was in a pink shirt that was worn with black yoga pants, blonde hair in a messy bun, showing that even in comfortable clothes she could rock it
She smell amazing, a sweet perfume filled his nose, her makeup was done tastefully, and he heard her talking to the brunette girl that usually sat diagonally from him.
His mind was scattered, heart racing, leg bouncing more than usual (a habit he's had since he was little), what should I do he thought what do I say.
As natsu debated just accepting that nothing was going to happen and just putting his head down for a pity nap, fate intervened
"Hey", a small voice said waking natsu from his daydream
"Hmm…. Oh hey "! He said back louder than he would of like "what's up"?
She had turned around to face him smiling and giggling at his rather excited response to her very simple greeting "what happened to your arm "
"Oh um I don't fully know … all I really remember is getting hit really hard in practice but the doctors told my parent that I had a minor concussion and a broken wrist"
"Oh gosh are you able to play still"? She said with genuine concern
"No "natsu said nicely or as nicely he could be without being overly friendly.
"Aww that sucks well at least you're alright"
"Yeah that's true" he then thought of something he could do "um we haven't met I'm natsu"
She then smiled and giggled "I'm Lucy heartfillia very nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too Lucy" he said with his usual grin
She then turned back around to talk to her friend
Natsu was still smiling he was proud of himself, he actually talked to a pretty...Actually not just pretty a beautiful girl.
Sitting at home on the couch after eight hours of classes and the bullshit of the school day he still had a smile on his face, after all the questioning from his friends and random acquaintances about how he was he still was smiling, after the couches asking him if he was alright and if he could play or even work out and saying no which he really didn't mind, he had this smug smile on his face and nothing and he ment nothing would get rid of it
"you look stupid man you alright" a very familiar voice said
Oh yeah his so called best friend was here to hang out
"Who let your dumbass in"?
"Dude we're friends I just come in"
"I need to get a dog then" he said looking at the cats that were both laying lazily on the window panes his and Wendy's cats happy and Carla "instead of these lazy shits"
"you got any food"? he heard another voice from the kitchen
"Hell you tell me, wait gajeel what the hell are you doing here
"Ice pop said he was coming over and I had nothing to do"
"Whatever I guess"
"So why are you smiling dumbass"?
He had known his friend for many years and what he was about to say caused the greatest reaction he had ever seen
"I may or may not have talked to that girl Erza told me about a while back"
Grays eyes widened mouth hanging open, a look of utter shock and awe had completely taken over his friend's usually somber demeanor
Gajeel was the one to first respond "about time dude it's been like two months"!
"Yeah but I didn't know who she was for a bit",
"What did you say" gray finally put himself together
"She just asked me what happened to me and I told her and I introduced myself, it actually went pretty well"
"Well I'll be damn you're finally nutting the fuck up"
"Fuck off you don't talk shit about gajeel flirting with the short trainer chick"
"This isn't about me you flaming idiot"!
"So what are you going to from here" gray questioned?
"I don't know man, you know I'm not good with women"
"Yeah you're really shitty at it" gray answered
"Its fucking hilarious from what he's told me" gajeel laughed
"You know what just you watch by the end of this year I will date this girl"
"Alright shit head we'll see"
